Peace Now on Thursday complained to the Defense Ministry about public comments an IDF commander made in support of Israeli sovereignty over the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron.

The decision to hold the ceremony in front of the cave was made worse by Hazut’s statement at the event, Oppenheimer said. According to Oppenheimer, Hazut said that the cave validates the Jewish nation legally and morally and strengthens its hold on the Land of Israel.
“This is not a religious or political statement, but rather a purely Zionist and Israeli matter,” Hazut said.
